HATHA

If you are browsing through a yoga studio's brochure of classes and the yoga offered is simply described as "hatha" or more correctly "ha-tha," chances are the teacher is offering an eclectic blend of two or more of the styles described below. It's a good idea to ask the teacher or director of the studio where he or she was trained and if the poses are held for a length of time or if you will be expected to move quickly from one pose to the next, and if meditation or chanting is included. This will give you a better idea if the class is vigorous or more meditative.
